So it's only a state's rights issue if you trying to oppress or hurt people but it's a federal issue when they want to control your personal decisions? Got it.
So I can drink myself into oblivion but I cannot smoke a little weed?

State's will not go back on this and the USSC will not side with the government.
You cannot keep insisting things are "state's rights" issues but change course as it suits you.
Law doesn't work that way.
